@jyoti gupta are you using custom repositories? Please check if you are able to access the host and files

@pankaj singhwe are using local repositories. Able to access host too. Following is the content of ambari.repo:

name=ambari-2.2.1.0 - Updates

baseurl=http://10.78.1.240/AMBARI-2.2.1.0/centos6/2.2.1.0-161/

gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos6/RPM-GPG-KEY/RPM-GPG-KEY-Jenkins enabled=1

If you are using local repo then dont point it to the public repo and make sure yoour satelitte server can serve at that URL

baseurl=http://10.78.1.240/AMBARI-2.2.1.0/centos6/2.2.1.0-161/
gpgcheck=0 
enabled=0
priority=1

yum clean all 
yum install ambari-server

That should work

Looks like there is no metadata in your repository. Can you try running

sudo createrepo .

in your folder pointed by baseurl.

Issue got Resolved. Satellite server was not properly installed. Reconfiguring satellite server, starting httpd service and configuring ambari.repo as per your suggestion worked. Thanks @Geoffrey Shelton Okot 🙂
